The Unity and Fluidity of Self

This chapter delves into the fascinating interplay between the unity and fluidity of self, exploring how the brain constructs a coherent sense of identity despite being made up of trillions of individual cells. It discusses the impact of external factors like drugs and disorders such as dissociative identity disorder on altering one's sense of self at a molecular and neural level. Additionally, it examines the role of different brain networks, particularly the anterior pre-cunius, in shaping one's perception of 'I' and 'me' and how disruptions can affect one's physical self and location.
